We at GMN have been trying to uncover the real reason for the armed invasion of the Bundy ranch because our instincts had told us that it was never about the Dessert Tortoise. Well, our instincts have paid off again, and this is what we found out. This BLM military operation of rounding up Mr. Bundy’s cattle is all about Oil Fracking leases that will make a lot of money for Dirty Harry Reid and his family. it’s also a huge coincidence that the new head of the BLM is a man by the name of Neil Kornze, who not only was he the former senior policy advisor on public lands issues to Dirty Harry Reid, he also has worked on helping to craft a recent industry-friendly draft policy on Fracking.

NaturalNews) The Bureau of Land Management says its 200-man armed siege of the Cliven Bundy ranch in Nevada is all about protecting an “endangered tortoise.” But a Natural News investigation has found that BLM is actually in the business of raking in millions of dollars by leasing Nevada lands to energy companies that engage in fracking operations.

This document from the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology(1) shows significant exploratory drilling being conducted in precisely the same area where the Bundy family has been running cattle since the 1870′s. The “Gold Butte” area is indicated on the lower right corner of the document (see below), and it clearly shows numerous exploratory drilling operations have been conducted there.

What’s also clear is that oil has been found in nearby areas and possibly even within the Gold Butte area itself.

It is, of course, customary for the U.S. government to bring armed soldiers to an oil dispute. (Operation “Iraqi Freedom” for starters…) Heavily armed snipers, helicopters and militarized soldiers have never been invoked over tortoises. (Anyone who thinks this siege is about reptiles is kidding themselves.)

Here’s the map showing the oil exploration conducted on the land where Bundy runs his cattle (all the red crosshairs are oil and gas exploration drilling operations):
